Impressive that she got from diagnosis to treatment so fast on the NHS.

Having just been through a prostate scare with the NHS, I’m not - particularly.
Contacted the GP and was bootleg for blood test within 3 days. Saw the GP post-results for an examination 4 days later, was at the hospital for a CT scan 3 days after fhat. Follow-up conversation with the consultant 2 days later.
Luckily, I got the all clear - but if someone has an obstructive abdominal condition they are going to be in surgery pretty quickly and as a marker of course, the removed tissue will have a biopsy. Being put on chemo within a month absolutely doesn’t surprise me. The NHS is under severe stress but when the shit hits the fan, it usually comes through.
